Taking even a single wicket is a huge task in the T20 format, forget about a five-wicket haul. Luck and skills play a bigger role in a bowler ending up with five or more wickets in an innings.
While a few bowlers have gone past the mark on several occasions, some haven’t managed to do so despite playing for a longer time.
This article will list the top 10 bowlers who have the most wickets without a five-wicket haul in the IPL.
| Player | Innings | Wickets | Economy | Best Bowling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piyush Chawla | 191 | 192 | 7.96 | 4/17 |
| Ravichandran Ashwin | 217 | 187 | 7.20 | 4/34 |
| Dwayne Bravo | 158 | 183 | 8.38 | 4/22 |
| Rashid Khan | 136 | 158 | 7.08 | 4/24 |
| Umesh Yadav | 147 | 144 | 8.49 | 4/23 |
| Trent Boult | 119 | 143 | 8.37 | 4/18 |
| Mohammed Shami | 119 | 133 | 8.63 | 4/11 |
| Axar Patel | 159 | 128 | 7.34 | 4/21 |
| Kagiso Rabada | 84 | 119 | 8.61 | 4/21 |
| Mohammed Siraj | 108 | 109 | 8.73 | 4/17 |
Dwayne Bravo is an unexpected name on this list. In IPL history, the right-arm medium bowler took 181 wickets but never picked up five wickets in a single inning.
Ravichandran Ashwin made his IPL debut in 2009. The right-arm off-spinner has bowled the most innings without a five-wicket haul in the IPL. He is a more economical bowler in the T20s than a wicket-taking option.
Vinay Kumar, Zahir Khan, Mohammed Siraj, and Shardul Thakur are the other bowlers with 100+ wickets but without a five-for.
